The patented scissors sharpener included in the handle of the 10-Second Knife and Scissors Sharpener features a specially designed "FLOATING" round ceramic rod, which conforms to the exact angle of your scissors every time.

Instructions

Carbide Blades:

Use on very dull blades or to restore a damaged edge.

Place sharpener on a flat, sturdy surface and hold sharpener with your hand for stability and control during sharpening.

Insert knife blade between the two carbide blades at a 90 degree angle to the sharpener.

Press down with moderate pressure and pull the blade through the crossed carbides from heel to tip (never back and forth).

Repeat this action until blade is sharp.

Diamond Stones can be used with a sharpening lubricant (water or honing solution) or dry. Smith's recommends their non-petroleum based Honing Solution for best results. DO NOT use petroleum based oil as a sharpening lubricant with this stone.

Place your blade on the end of the stone at the desired sharpening angle and push the blade away from you like you are trying to carve a thin layer off the top of the stone. Use moderate to light pressure whe...the same angle with each stroke. This is the key to obtaining the sharpest edge.

Now sharpen the other side of the blade by placing your blade on the opposite end of the diamond stone and pulling the blade toward you. Again try carving a thin layer off the top of the stone. Repeat this pulling stroke 3 or 4 times.

Continue steps 1 and 2 until you feel your blade is truly sharp. Remember, maintaining a consistent angle and doing the same number of strokes on each side of the blade is the key to obtaining the sharpest edge.

Break-In Period: The initial aggressive cutting speed of all Diamond Sharpening Stones will slow with use. At the same time, the abrasive finish will improve. Do not be confused by this break-in process. It is normal and should be expected. Your diamond stone is breaking in, NOT wearing out.
